Delta 9 operates in 185,000 square feet on a 47 Acre site in Winnipeg, Manitoba and currently has 80,000 square feet of Health Canada licensed facilities.

All of Delta 9’s cannabis production and processing activities are based in retrofitted shipping containers called Delta 9 Grow Pods. Delta 9 holds Canadian and US Patents on its grow technology. The Grow Pods provide a grow platform which is modular, scalable, and stackable, allowing the company to grow vertically on multiple floors.

The Grow Pods and hydroponic grow systems provide a high level of control over the grow environment meaning high quality products. Each Grow Pod has a full retrofit cost of only $25,000 (less than $100/ square foot) and will produce over 32,000 grams of dried cannabis per year (approximately $160,000/ year at wholesale).
